Sadly, this is the end of the amazing Twilight series. This last fourth book, Breaking Dawn, is the last of the Twilight series. It's very, very sad to see a wonderful series just end like this, kind of suddenly, but as you read to the end of the book, you will understand that the ending here fits perfectly well.

The whole series revolved around only Bella, with the only exception being the end of Eclipse, but in this book, 1/3 is told by Jacob. This makes perfect sense, because it is important to know Jacob's feelings, especially here, as this is a crucial part of the story for him. I like this part, because I always wanted to know what Jacob was thinking all this time. The layout of the entire story has changed, and now it has three climaxes (one for each part) instead of just one. This makes the book much more thrilling to read. The first climax was Edward and Bella's honeymoon (dot dot dot...), the second one was Bella's pregnancy, and the third one was about the Volturi coming to destroy all the Cullens.

In this final book, the story starts with Bella and Edward getting married, and they embark on their honeymoon to a special island. They do something on the island, and something really bad happens to Bella. Bella survives her "illness", but has to be changed into a vampire. And then, suddenly, the ALL the Volturi come to Forks, even the wives, to destroy the Cullens. What is the reason for this? Will the Cullens survive? Read the book to find out!
